“Apollo Strategic Communications” organization located in London in 2026. on March 2, in a letter sent to the American media, he suggested “non-public discussions” to their editors, with the aim of discrediting the American Armenian Committee, devaluing and discrediting its activities. The closed letter sent to the American media appeared at the Armenian American Committee. It is noteworthy that the promised “information” about the American delegation of the Armenian Dat fully corresponds to the false claims used by the Azerbaijani-Turkish circles in the fight against the Armenian Dat system.
Studies show that the parent company of “Apollo Strategic Communications”, “RSK Group”, owns the subsidiary “Azerbaijan Environment and Technology Center” Ltd., which implements large-scale projects in Azerbaijan, particularly in the Caspian region, and since its registration in 2009, “Apollo” has operated under several names: “Red Public Relations Limited” and “Apollo Public Relations Limited”.
Unfortunately, Armenians and citizens of the Republic of Armenia, including members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, joined this campaign under the clear direction of Azerbaijan. In particular, in a letter dated March 2, American press officials are offered to pass on defamatory information to the Armenian American Committee through meetings with the following persons:
1. An anonymous staff member of the Congressional Committee on Security and Cooperation in Europe,
2. Maria Karapetyan, deputy of the RA NA “Citizenship Agreement” ruling faction,
3. Historian Nzhdeh Hovsepyan,
4. Carnegie Foundation Visiting Research Fellow Karo Paylan.
Later, in his X microblog, Karo Paylan refused to participate in that campaign, writing: “Reporters were sent messages on my behalf about Armenia, which I did not authorize.”
It is also noteworthy that after this leak, “Apollo Strategic Communications” closed its X account, and removed the data of the employee Daniel Blake-Martin, who signed the published letter, from the list of employees.
Regarding what happened, the Armenian American Committee demands from Apollo Strategic Communications the answers to the following questions:
1. Who hired “Apollo” to carry out a campaign against the Armenian American Committee and how much money was paid?
2. If “Apollo” acted in America on behalf of a foreign client, against an American organization, why was it not registered with the US Department of Justice in accordance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)?
3. How and why were Maria Karapetyan, Nzhdeh Hovsepyan and Karo Paylan involved in this secret campaign?
4. What connections does the parent company of “Apollo”, RSK Group, have with Azerbaijan, the Aliyev family and the energy companies of the Caspian region?
